DFS2973W NO RESPONSE FROM SHARING IMS AFTER ONLINE REORG. PART=partname
Explanation
HALDB online reorganization has completed the copying phase for the named HALDB partition and the inactive data sets are to be deleted. Data set deletion was attempted because OPTION(DEL) was specified or defaulted on the INITIATE OLREORG command or was subsequently specified on the UPDATE OLREORG command. However, before data set deletion was attempted, all sharing IMS systems were notified. All sharing IMS systems must indicate that they are no longer using these data sets. One or more of these systems did not respond even after three requests.
System action
IMS already reset the cursor-active status for the partition in the RECON and the database records in the partition are now contained in the single set of data sets to which these records were copied. To complete the processing, IMS attempts to delete the inactive data sets even though not all sharing IMS systems responded. An error might result during data set deletion if some job, such as an IMS batch job, has the data sets allocated but is unable to respond within the time allowed for a response. If this situation happens, one or more of the inactive data sets are not deleted, but the online reorganization completes anyway.
System programmer response
Check the MVS system console log to determine whether error messages indicate that any of the inactive data sets from the HALDB online reorganization were not deleted. After these data sets are no longer in use, delete them.
